I'm in the middle of preparing for a session at SD West next week where I talk about the Microsoft Technology Roadmap - basically an avalanche of technologies in one day. Each time I present this I have to update my resources with newer tools, usually extensions to Visual Studio environment, so that attendees can be successful at running demos.

Here is my latest list of "setup instructions" for the CTPs I use, with links to where the sites are located. I can't guarantee how long these will be the latest, but you should be OK for at least the next month!

Visual Studio 2005 (if you have to)

This section lists tools to install to set up your Visual Studio 2005 environment. For .NET 3.0 and 3.5 development, Visual Studio 2005 is sorely out of date on tools, so anything you install from this list below is likely not to work with newer code samples. You have been warned.

I just returned from another fantastic Dev Connections conference in Las Vegas. For the four sessions I delivered, this post lists the code samples and resources I referenced. If you are looking for something specific and can't find it here, shoot me an email. Tutorial resources will be posted separately. Enjoy!

Introduction to C# 3.0

• C# 3.0 Samples
• ADO.NET 3.5 Samples

Exploring Windows CardSpace

• Cardspace Samples

ASP.NET and WCF: Meet Your New Web Service

• See code from my book Learning WCF posted here
• See my webcast series on WCF for MSDN

Architectural Considerations for ASP.NET Applications

• GalleryDemo20 - This sample illustrates different globalization techniques including the use of generated resources for page content, the use of resources to select localized images and dynamically loaded user controls, the use of localized database tables, and caching based on theme, culture and query string params
• CustomResourceProviders - This sample illustrates the use of custom localization expressions and custom resource providers. The code is based on this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905797.aspx and updated for VS 2008.
• Extending the Visual Studio IDE for localization - I wrote a follow on article on this for MSDN, it has not yet been published, hopefully soon (backlog) but I will post the code here in an update to this post, after a quick review later this week.
• Distributed Boundaries - This sample was based on the ConnectionOrientedBindings lab from Chapter 3 of my book Learning WCF. All the code for my book is here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx. This particular sample shows how to use a WCF service behind your ASP.NET applications to introduce a security boundary between NETWORK SERVICE and access to data and other resources. I talked about this in two articles for the server side, long ago:
  • Sandboxing with Impersonation
  • Sandboxing with Enterprise Services
• TransactionsOverHttp - This shows how to flow transactions over WCF web services, but I have many more examples of WCF transactions here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx
• MessagingIntermediaryVia - Illustrates a pass-through router over HTTP where even reliable messaging headers can pass through both directions.
• MessagingIntermediaryDuplex - Illustrates a duplex router that supports reliable messaging headers two-way out of band over named pipes.

As some of you may know, several of us at IDesign (Juval, Brian and myself) are in the midst of a two-week .NET 3.5 Roadshow - six cities in two weeks where we collectively cover WCF, WF, WPF, CardSpace, federated and claims-based security concepts, and some key aspects of .NET 3.5 such as new C# 3.0 language features and ADO.NET 3.5 including LINQ and the Entity Framework.

I'm personally covering WCF security, federated and claims-based security, C# 3.0 and ADO.NET 3.5. For those of you attending (or, not) here are links to the code samples I'm presenting:

VS 2005 samples

• WCF Security Fundamentals - these samples come from the \Security directory from my book code
• Federated and Claims-Based Security in WCF - these samples come from the \Security\ClaimsBased directory from my book code
• CardSpace Samples

Download VS 2008 Samples (UPDATED 10/11/07)

This download includes all samples referenced above, in addition to .NET 3.5 samples for C# 3.0 and LINQ, and IDesign's declarative security model including a recent version of our ServiceModelEx library.  

Other relevant resources discussed:

• My WCF webcast series
• CardSpace controls for ASP.NET
• IDesign articles

Any questions? Email me.

In preparation for our upcoming .NET 3.5 Roadshow  (http://www.dotnetroadshow.com/) I am posting setup instructions for those who need some tips on setting up an environment to work with the latest technologies. If you can start using Visual Studio 2008 (Beta 2 available now), I highly recommend it - it gives you the latest .NET 3.0 tools for your WCF, WPF and WF projects. But, for those still using Visual Studio 2005, I have provided those links here as well.

    • NOTE: this doesn’t work so well, better to install VS 2008 Beta 2 extension for this

  • .NET 3.0 tools are built-in to VS 2008
  • LINQ and related tools are built-in to VS 2008
  • At the time of this writing the Entity Data Model and related tools were not available for Beta 2.
